Seems like gtkextra has continued to be developed and was ported to
gtk2. It is also packaged in F7:

But I think that doesn't include python bindings :/

If you decided to try, wrapping gtk widgets with pygtk uses to be quite
straightforward. You could base those bindings on 

http://python-gtkextra.cvs.sourceforge.net/python-gtkextra/python-gtkextra2/

I'm not sure we want this lib in the platform, so you would have to
include all these pieces inside your activity bundle.
